[time-nuts] Trimble Thunderbolt GPS Antenna

[Christopher Brown]

Agreed, I picked up a new in box Symmetricom 58532 this winter.


I was very surprised to get a usable signal from indoors (through attic,
shingles, 4 inches of ice and 2 - 3 feet of snow).


>From the same room, my SIRFIII based GPSes would take 5 minutes or more
to warm-lock and would randomly drop.  Location output was also
semi-random walk over 100+ meters.   Normally these little SIRFIII units
are < 5 seconds to warm lock and within 2 meters.


Now that the roof is almost clear of snow I am looking forward to seeing
how well it will do with an actual sky view.
